About Catla Fish:
Catla catla fish, also identified as Indian Carp and is the merely member of the genus Catla, of the carp family Cyprinidae. Catla is a fish with a large protruding lower jaw. It has three scientific names — the Gibelion catla, Cyprinus catla and catla catla. Bhakur is the famous name of this fish in India. Catla fish is commonly found in rivers and freshwater lakes of North India and other parts of India like Indus Plain and other countries the fish is native to include Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Catla fish is omnivorous and will eat insects, plankton and any other mixed biological material that is floating on the surface of the water. During monsoon season, usually May until August depending on the region, the fish will participate in its seeding migration, moving towards shallow waters. Catla fish is typically a surface-dwelling fish, and needs very warm waters in the 64 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 28 Celsius) range. The minimum tolerance temperature limit is ~14 °C. The total of the body of Catla fish is Greyish on back and flanks, silvery-white below fins dusky. Catla fish’s most recognizable feature is its large lower jaw which forces its lower lip to be upturned, covering its mouth. It is harmless to humans.
The Catla fish is a common and well-accepted food fish in India, and has been introduced to ponds and other bodies of water for farming purposes. Several times Catla is introduced in fish farms with multiple carp species, as it eats the organic material that floats on the surface of the water that most other fish will not. The Catla fish is generally harvested when it weighs 2 to 4 pounds and is then sent off to local markets where it is sold fresh. Customers generally wish to buy catla to be large 1-2 kg.
Populations of catla are very large throughout India and every country it is native to and consumer preference has bigger its reputation in carp polyculture method among the fish farmers. Catla fish shares the upper feeding place of the pond with silver carp in the six species composite system with Rohu, Mrigal, common carp, grass carp and silver carp.
The Catla fish has stocked is usually kept almost about 29-34% in the three species system in India at the same time in 6 species culture Catla fish outline only 16-21%. Catla fish are supplied mostly in local markets and they are sold fresh. Catla fish is majorly supplied in local markets in India. In big commercial farms where the Catla fish harvest is considerable, this fish, after washing carefully in water, are filled with crushed ice at 1:1 ratio in rectangular plastic crates.
About Rohu Fish:
Even if a large number of fish species grow successfully in ponds, only a restricted number of species are usually cultivated on commercial scale. Reasons for this restricted choice are obvious. Commercial pond culture mainly targets to achieving maximum possible rate of fish production and profit through optimum utilization of the natural food and the supplementary feed which drastically limits the choice of fish species for pond cultivation. Rohu whose scientific name is Labeo Rohita, is a freshwater brackish fish.
The Indian carp is very similar in features to its cousin the Mrigal carp with the main difference being that the Indian carp is fewer torpedos shaped and curves from the dorsal fin down to the head slightly. Also the Indian carp has a slightly deeper and fuller depth. The Indian carp is also very similar to the common carp.
The bigger the size of the fish the tastier it is. Rohu is highly commercial and is one the fishes which are eaten by all fish eaters in India. Rohu is found in the Chilka Lake, Maharashtra, Kerala, Meenachil, Manimala, and Pompa rivers. The upper body of Rohu has dark scales, the lower body and the belly is golden brown. It has a dark brown dorsal fin and tail. The pelvic pectoral and anal fins have a red tint.
The Indian carp (Labeo rohita) also known as the rohu is a freshwater fish species in the minnows or carps family (family Cyprinidae) of order Cypriniformes (carps). Rohi or Rohu is a fish of the carp family Cyprinidae, found commonly in rivers and freshwater lakes in India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma.
It is called rahu in Nepali. In Hindi it is called rehu. Rohu fish is an herbivore. Natural Food Source of Rohu fish are plants, fruits, insects, crustaceans & planktons. A similar diet to most carp species. In general Rohu fish dwells in the column region of the aquatic ecosystem and feeds mostly on vegetable stuff including higher plants, detritus, etc. Like other fish Catla, Rohu naturally breeds in rivers.
Excluding by hypophysation to which it reacts rapidly, it never breeds in ponds. Rohu fish achieve its sexual maturity during the second year. On the other hand, positive percentages of pond-reared specimens mature within one year. Fecundity varies from 228 000 to about 2 600 000 varies upon the size. The monsoon (April—September) Rohu’s meting season. Rohu fish grows to a maximum size of 200 cm in length and 45 kgs in weight. Rohu fish lives for a period of 10 years. Rohu fish is normally distributed in Asia - Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Nepal.
About Mrigal Fish:
Mrigal is most commonly used name for Cirrhinus cirrhosus however; Mrigal can be called White Carp. They do belong to the Minnow/Carp family. Mrigal are farmed throughout India. Found in freshwater bodies, rarely in brackish water; some common habitats are- ponds, ditch, canals, beels, floodplains, haors, baors (oxbow lakes), rivers, lake etc. Niche is bottom layer of water body. Mrigal also found in all the major river systems of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma. The adult fish nourished upon filamentous green algae, pieces of higher plants, decayed vegetable, diatoms, mud and detritus.
Mrigal is principally a bottom feeder and for this reason suitable for cultivation with column and surface feeder carps in ponds. Mrigal generally get matured within 1 or 2 years depending upon the agroclimatic conditions of the place. Mrigal fish does not breed in ponds, but can be easily bred in bundhs and by hypophysation. Mrigal fish is now being encouraged to breed twice within the same spawning season.
Rearing of seed is usually undertaken in seasonal or perennial undrainable ponds. Under pond culture conditions it grows to over 1 kg in one year. Along with the three main Indian carps, Mrigal fish normally grows slowly comparatively to Catla and Rohu. Mrigal fish is appearing to bear a minimum temperature of 14 ºC. In ponds the species normally attains 600-700 g in the first year, depending on stocking mass and management performance. Mrigal fish live in fast flowing streams and rivers.
The body of Mrigal fish is lengthened and aerodynamic or laterally compressed. Dorsal profile more convex than that of abdomen. Ventral profile slightly convex. Grayish or greenish color on the back and silvery at the sides and below. Fins are slightly orange colored in larger specimen. Lateral line present and complete with about 40-45 scales.Young are omnivorous to about 5 cm TL, adults are almost completely herbivorous. Feeds on plankton, but also grazes on algae. Spawning occurs in marginal areas of the water body with a depth of 50-100 cm over a sand or clay substrate. A 6 kg female can lay a million eggs (of 1 mm diameter) (Ref. 6028). Widely cultured in India but fails to breed naturally in ponds, thus induced breeding is done. Fishery harvests 40 cm fish weighing 1000 g and of about 3 years.
A very active fish that thrives in ponds but spawns in swift rivers. Fingerlings are in great demand for stocking ponds between July and November. Mrigal fish is used as aquaculture species. Mrigal fish is always marketed in fresh condition. This species command a good market price and consumer demand.
About Grass Carp Fish:
The grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is a herbivorous, freshwater fish species of family Cyprinidae, and the only species of the genus Ctenopharyngodon. It is cultivated in China for food, but was introduced in Europe and the United States for aquatic weed control (see, e.g., Ponchatoula Creek). It is a large cyprind native to eastern Asia, with a native range from northern Vietnam to the Amur River on the Siberia-China border. It is a fish of large, turbid rivers and associated floodplain lakes, with a wide degree of temperature tolerance. Grass carp will enter reproductive condition and spawn at temperatures of 20 to 30 °C (68 to 86 °F).
Grass carp have elongate, chubby, torpedo-shaped body forms. The terminal mouth is slightly oblique with non-fleshy, firm lips, and no barbels. The complete lateral line contains 40 to 42 scales. Broad, ridged, pharyngeal teeth are arranged in a 2, 4-4, 2 formula. The dorsal fin has 8 to 10 soft rays, and the anal fin is set closer to the tail than most cyprinids. Body color is dark olive, shading to brownish-yellow on the sides, with a white belly and large, slightly outlined scales.
The grass carp grows very rapidly. Young fish stocked in the spring at 20 centimetres (7.9 in) will reach over 45 centimetres (18 in) by fall, and adults often attain nearly 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) in length and over 18 kilograms (40 lb) in weight. According to one study, they live an average of five to 9 years, with the oldest surviving 11 years. They eat up to three times their own body weight daily. They thrive in small lakes and backwaters that provide an abundant supply of freshwater vegetation.
